How will this affect students who rely on government Centrelink support?

The change of the Academic Calendar will not affect students Centrelink or scholarship payments. As we progress through the implementation process, we will assess various funding sources. The University will closely monitor these impacts throughout the transition and work collaboratively with students to provide the necessary advice and support.

The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
